Right now it only tracks the actual string &quot;fuck&quot;, if you check out the code on gh, <a href="https://github.com/mgingras/fBomb" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mgingras&#x2F;fBomb</a> , by changing line 67 of coffeeApp.coffee, &quot;stream = Twitter.stream &#x27;statuses&#x2F;filter&#x27;, {track:&#x27;fuck&#x27;}&quot; , you could track anything you wanted.

I was surprised there aren&#x27;t a lot more F bombs being dropped.<p>Also, here is a nice nugget of wisdom from Nigeria: &quot;Fuck, don&#x27;t give a fuck, don&#x27;t get fucked over. 3 rules of life.&quot;

Surprised to see no f-bombs being dropped in Australia, it&#x27;s a little quiet here, a little too quiet. Interesingly, seems a lot of people in the UK love to drop the f-bomb themselves, this is a little gem I discovered:<p>&quot;I&#x27;m not an asshole I just don&#x27;t give a fuck a lot&quot;<p>Neat idea, I made something similar that generated fortune cookie messages based on Tweets, it wasn&#x27;t as nice as your idea and execution, nice one.

I think it is a little bit odd to create a page that shows every fuck-word it can find in the world, call it &quot;fbomb&quot;, having an About page whereby one only talks about the &quot;F word&quot; and &quot;F-Bombs&quot; while trying very hard not to type the word fuck.<p>Seems a kinda hypocrite to me. &quot;Look someone said fuck in &lt;country&gt; haha, but I don&#x27;t use that word, nono, not the F-word.&quot; I really dislike the term f-word. Say fuck if you want, say nothing if you don&#x27;t want.<p>But, yes, funny idea.

Cool, seems like it&#x27;s based on this demo: <a href="https://github.com/maachou/TweetMapViewer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;maachou&#x2F;TweetMapViewer</a><p>I hacked together a little twitter following thing using that as a guide this weekend (<a href="http://myemotions.herokuapp.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;myemotions.herokuapp.com</a>)

Perhaps doomed to the same plight as most of these kinds of visualizations (wherein it becomes more of a population density chart than something with which one can cull any sort of actually useful information)?

I mean this is neat but why not try histogramming the results over a really long period of time? A fuck-field if you will. That will contain much more information.

Fair warning: This is more addicting than it ought to be. Avoid unless procrastination is your goal.
